FWIW, I have found that this new antenna, even before the unun is
grounded, works *extremely* well on almost all bands for elimination
of electrical hash noise with my DX-Ultra and MFJ-1026. *I can lop off
4-8 S-Units of hash noise while scarcely touching the desired signal,
leaving otherwise obscured signals either in the clear or almost so.
It has brought otherwise undetectable signals to easy copy. *Right
now, I'm wishing I had room for two of them - I could silence 60 and
90 meters background with them.

Maybe I'll take down the DX-Ultra and put up another one of these.
I'd hate to lose the DX-U (it's great on everything 41 meters and up),
but two matched antennae on the MFJ-1026 would work wonders, I think.

Without counting all my chickens before they hatch, I will say I am
very pleased - and grateful to you, Peter, and the other folks
including Roy, Dave, Kevin, MII and others who have chimed in with
their help and advice. *Thanks!

* *Always glad to help in what marginal way I may, Bruce.

* *If you've had THAT kind of noise reduction, you're going to enjoy a
whole new world of listening.

LOL! Three of them - Icom R75, Allied SX-190 and a DX-160.
